Reasons for Replacing a Hot Water Heater
Like any plumbing device or fixture, your water heater won’t last forever. While you can extend its lifespan by practicing effective maintenance and scheduling repairs when necessary, eventually, it will need to be replaced. Here are reasons you might consider installing a new one before yours stops working entirely:
Saving Money on a More Energy-Efficient Unit
New units are often more efficient than older ones, using less energy to keep water hot.
On top of that, you may decide that you want to switch from a tank-based model to a tankless unit, saving yourself money with a water heater that doesn’t need to use energy to keep a reserve supply of water hot.
Making Space
Tankless water heaters take up much less space than standard units. Some people decide to replace theirs because they realize they don’t need as much hot water as a standard, tank-based model provides.
Instead, they’d rather switch to a tankless one, making space in their home.
Old Age
If your water heater is more than 10 years old, it’s going to start breaking down more often.
This is a good time to look into replacement options. You don’t want to scramble to find a new unit because you didn’t prepare ahead of time.
Frequent Repairs
Your water heater will likely need some degree of repair service over the course of its lifetime.
However, if you’re constantly scheduling repairs, to the point that it’s starting to have a major impact on your budget, replacing it with a new unit may be more cost-effective on the long run.
The Process of Replacing a Hot Water Heater
Replacing your hot water heater takes time, skill and strength. You’ll also need various tools and materials to ensure your new water heater fits properly. The general replacement process includes:
- Turning off the power and water and gas valves.
- Draining the water in the current tank.
- Disconnecting the gas and water lines.
- Removing the old water heater.
- Setting up the new water heater.
- Installing the valves
- Attaching the pipes.
- Connecting the water and gas lines.
- Attaching the vent.
- Testing the new water heater for leaks.
- Refilling the tank.
- Turning the power back on.
The extensive process can be overwhelming for individuals who have limited knowledge about water heaters. Hiring an expert plumber for your water heater replacement is the best way to ensure the installation goes smoothly.
Why Water Heater Replacement Is Best Left to the Pros
Installing a hot water heater can be a complicated process.
It can also be dangerous, given the size of the tank, and the fact that you may have to connect the unit to gas valves and plumbing lines.
If you don’t handle the installation correctly, your unit could leak, operate inefficiently, or even damage your home. You’re better off scheduling professional service. Doing so results in peace of mind and long-term savings.

John M.
As being a retired electrical contractor since 1980 and real estate investor, I was impressed, they gave me next day service, called me when in route, called me when completed, and billing was more than fair, unlike those companies that do flat rates.
Jerry S.
From the office personnel to the installation. The office staff were courteous and professional, Josh, the salesman, was here the next day and gave me a quote right away that was very fair and, I think, quite competitive. Joe and Reuben, the installers, came two days later to do the installation. They were very knowledgeable, courteous and professional and did a fantastic job. They represented your company extremely well. I love the Bryant package unit, recommended by Josh, it's attractive, efficient and quiet. Thanks to all.

We have been a client for just over 10 years and I’m very happy with their service, workmanship and pricing. In this day and age, it’s hard to find a company that you can’t find fault with, but this is one of them.
Don N.
We’ve dealt the the Griffith company for 20 years and Larry made us feel comfortable with the merging of companies that is happening. We are looking forward to having our new AC installed and the continuing excellence of service we’ve experienced from this company over the years.
